Mad Men: Draper’s ’65 Caddy For Sale

Don Draper’s story may have come to an end, but you can pick up where he left off by buying his 1965 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. Now that it’s no longer needed on set, the Caddy is up for auction at Screenbid, with a high bid of $26,250 — a price that’s sure to increase many times over before the auction ends on August 7th.

Draper’s daily driver looks to be in excellent condition. The silver paint looks great, the body panels are straight and the red interior appears to be clean, though you might want to get it steam cleaned, considering the number of Lucky Strikes the car inhaled.

The Coupe DeVille was basically a character of its own for the last few seasons of Mad Men. Draper, played outstandingly by Jon Hamm, reluctantly purchased the car at the beginning of season five and used until the end of the seventh and final season.

But why stop with just car? You can embrace the complete Draper lifestyle by also bidding on and winning Don’s playing cards, night robe and slippers, black lace dress shoes, silver and glass set and Ray Ban sunglasses.
